"Are you kidding..."
A huge black shadow leaped out of the water, twisting its body to attack without warning.
The group of people standing in the water raised their heads and looked up at the great ancient creature.
Although there are only skeletons left, it is still so beautiful.
Incredibly beautiful and ferocious.
Its back was still covered with hard dragon scales, and its relatively soft abdomen had rotted away until nothing remained.
Or maybe the descendant of the White King hollowed out its belly after hunting it, just like making a mummy, using only its bones.
In the bone cage formed by his ribs, dozens and hundreds of pairs of golden eyes opened at the same time, like a hunting herd hidden in it, and collectively neighed, or like a baby crying.
"You're kidding me!" Fingel shouted again, pointing at the huge creature in front of him, "How could such a thing escape?"
Beside him, Caesar and others were fully armed and charged towards the corpse dragon.
Time goes back an hour.
The group of people who had already determined that they were in Takamagahara decided to go to the "torii" together and leave from there.
Fortunately, since Takamagahara and Yonoshugahara do not exist at the same latitude in the present world, the underground waterways in this space are not so difficult to accept.
At least they don't have to swim in sewage.
But danger is still everywhere.
Takamagahara, who returned to the upper level, escaped from the sea, but it became more dangerous than in the sea.
The corpse guards in the sky and the hunters on the ground basically sealed off all the areas where they could move.
Chu Zihang used Junyan again to blow away the manhole cover above.
The group finally broke through the obstacles and returned to the ground.
But after leaving the pipe with limited space, the number of hunting dogs around them increased instead of decreasing.
Chu Zihang panted violently and knelt on one knee.
A high-risk word spirit like "Jun Yan" places a huge burden on his body. Every time he releases it, he feels as if he has been drained of energy.
A hunter instinctively sensed that Chu Zihang was the weakest among the group at this moment. It swam close to the ground, and when it was very close to Chu Zihang, it suddenly raised its body like a snake.
Its scaly abdomen scraped against the ground and made a harsh noise. It pounced on Chu Zihang like a ferocious tiger, with dagger-like fangs spitting out from its open mouth.
Chu Zihang didn't have time to regain his breath and subconsciously leaned back.
Caesar was in a hurry and had no time to react, so he threw his long knife and nailed the hunter's tail to the ground.
But when the hunter's length was exhausted, he suddenly managed to pull out another section. Its entire gums were turned outwards, and its sharp teeth were aimed at Chu Zihang's throat.
Both Caesar and Chu Zihang ignored one point.
This thing is not human. Although it looks like a snake tail, its bone structure is completely different from that of humans. It can swallow the entire lower jaw like some reptiles!
At the last moment, Fingel pushed forward and stuffed his iron arm directly into Kari's throat. Then Mai Shutoku jumped forward and cut off its entire lower jaw from bottom to top.
"Hey, young man, please take it easy." The blade rubbed Fingel's forearm, sparks flashing out, and he was so frightened that he retracted his hand with a scream.
Mai Shutoku cut Kari's head into pieces in two or three strokes: "I've been paying close attention to it."
Su Enxi was surrounded by everyone holding two guns.
Although this girl is not a combatant, she can still use a gun, so Caesar simply gives her his Desert Eagle and Uzi.
It was not for her to help, but for her to protect herself.
After all, there are too many hunters, and the bullets they carry together are not enough.
Chu Zihang rested for a while, and then released another wave of Jun Yan.
The surrounding area was cleared by them, but this was only temporary.
It won't be long before a new hunting herd approaches again.
"It's so spectacular," Caesar praised softly, "It's like a crowd of countless ants climbing up the body of the Black King. We feel like we are about to die now.
The same as the Black King. "
"This metaphor is very unlucky." Mai Shutoku spitted on the ground, and the spit was filled with blood.
Her Mingzhao had little effect on hunters who relied on scent to hunt, and with Su Enxi's presence, she was basically taking damage along the way.
The profession of ninja is inherently high in attack and low in defense, so it is fragile, even after cultivating chakra. Mai Shutoku's injuries are probably the most serious among them.
Su Enxi was by her side to take care of her.
Although she has no fighting ability, this girl has a good brain. She relies on her command along the way to find the weak points of the hunting group, and only a few people can break out of the encirclement in one go.
The one who also contributed a lot is Chu Zihang. It’s not just a lie. The number of Deadpools hacked to death by the other people combined was not as many as the fractions killed by Chu Zihang.
Fingel's role is that of an iron T, responsible for taking all the damage. Without him, the injuries suffered by several people could triple.
Plus Caesar's reconnaissance.
Reconnaissance, coordination, assassin, output, human shield.
As long as a wet nurse is needed, the whole team can survive.
"Now is not the time to lament about such things," Fingel was very good at spoiling the atmosphere. "First think of a way to get out, boss."
They have now retreated to the bottom of the tower, which is the tower that Caesar, Chu Zihang and Fingel had seen in the Abyss.
Now it stands above ground, even more majestic than when it was in the sea.
It is nearly twice as tall as Tokyo Tower. It is made purely of metal and its surface is covered with ancient characters and totems. These patterns form the shape of a dragon that surrounds the tower and goes to the heights.
Every building in this city is as majestic as this tower, like dense mountains. The iron spikes on the roof point to the sky, so sharp that they seem to cut the sky.
The sea water is rushing through the streets and alleys of this city, and the white waves are beating against the black iron walls.
The skeletons of the hunters followed the ebbing tide towards the black sea, and more hunters still gathered towards this square.
These inhuman creatures defended the city until their death, and people didn't know whether to lament for them or their own upcoming fate.
They may not have a chance to break out of this maze-like city. They don't know where the exit of the maze is. Even if they know, they don't have the strength to fight their way out of the hunting herd.
Caesar took out a box of cigars from his arms and distributed them to everyone. Fingel took it to his mouth happily. Although Mai Shude and Chu Zihang didn't like this kind of thing that showed off their heroic spirit, they still took it. past.
Caesar lit cigars for everyone. Except for Su Enxi, the other four people spit out blue smoke into the air. Among them, Chu Zihang choked and coughed.
"Celebrate that we finally arrived in a dragon city. People outside probably don't believe that we have reached an ancient dragon city, right? It's a pity that I don't know if I have the life to go out and tell this legend." Caesar said.
"It is not counted as the ancient dragon city, it can only be counted as the memory of the ancient dragon city. From the perspective of Nibelung's construction logic, it is not a real world, but a distorted reality, like a nightmare that can swallow people up. ." Su Enxi said.
"What should we do now? Can we kill for another round?" What Caesar pulled out was not the knife issued by the equipment department. That knife had long been cut with a curled blade and thrown out as a grenade.
The Equipment Department will install explosives and triggering devices on the handles of all cold weapons. This is something that Kassel students know.
He is now using two hunting ribs, and two hunting claws are tied to his back. These things are no less sharp than alchemy swords.
"Boss, don't you have a fiancée? Why are you so calm about the fact that you are about to die?" Fingel raised his eyebrows with a mean look on his face, while Mai Jiudoku and Chu Zihang on the other side also showed gossiping looks.
Caesar smacked his lips, then threw the bone knife in his hand: "*** turned off your recording!"
Fingel was so frightened that he jumped up on the spot, but he was still defending: "Boss, you have to believe in my character. How could I do such an immoral thing?"
"Just because it's you, it's not worth being surprised!"
"I swear to God, I don't have a tape recorder on me."
"Not even a voice recorder!"
"Boss, you have to respect my professionalism!"
The two people didn't move, they just exchanged words in the air. It was the first time that Chu Zihang saw Caesar in such a defensive state, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and then...
"Kacha".
Chu Zihang's smile froze, and then he heard Fingel whisper: "Get rich, get rich, the iceberg god's smile, this one can sell for 500 dollars!"
Chu Zihang: "...hack him to death."
Caesar: "I agree."
Of course, these words are just talk, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to go back this time, so it would be good to leave something like this.
If powerful dragon slayers really come here again in the future, then the things they left behind might really be brought back.
"Ah, what a big loss." After a while of joking, Fingel lay on the ground, "I'm afraid the college's body delivery service won't be used."
"Do you still have this kind of service?" Su Enxi was curious.
"I've heard of it, but I've never seen anyone use it." Mai Shutoku interjected.
"Who has used that thing?" Chu Zihang asked curiously.
"No one has ever used it," Caesar answered.
He was right. Most of the people in the entire academy died on the dragon-slaying battlefield. Only ten corpses could be found, and most of them could no longer be identified.
"Oh, that's not what I meant," Fingel said. "I just regret that if I had known better, I would have asked the principal to cash out the transportation costs for me."
Everyone: "..."
Caesar: "Fingel, as expected of you."
"Even if we come together, we may not be able to solve this kind of guy..." Fingel lamented, "If I had known, I would have brought Little Dragon Girl with me."
Everyone was silent.
Everyone heard the heavy breathing, and the black back of the giant creature was exposed in the black tide.
The tide of this wave was particularly turbulent because the huge East XZ was approaching under the tide.
Caesar, Chu Zihang, and Fingel had all seen that thing. It was the largest corpse guard they had ever seen in the depths of the Abyss.
The Corpse Keeper King was made from the bones of a dragon. It was originally part of the foundation of this city, and the descendants of the White King built the city on its bones.
The largest and most dangerous guardian of Takamagahara, he is breathing under the sea water, and white water spurts out towards the city well.
"call--"
Chu Zihang exhaled and asked, "Caesar, do you still remember the location of the torii?"
"Using our location as the coordinates, it should be at the end of the westward Imperial Road." Caesar said.
"Yes." Chu Zihang nodded and stood up from the ground.
"You go west and find that door. I'll buy you time. If I don't have time to catch up with you, don't wait for me. Leave immediately and go out to find Xia Mi to save me..."
"Snapped!"
Chu Zihang felt a little sting on his face.
Su Enxi reloaded the bullet silently, while Mai Shutoku tore off a piece of the ninja uniform and wiped the knife in her hand.
Fingel sat on the ground, his face no longer full of laughter and laughter, and the cold light in his eyes was bone-piercing.
Caesar asked with a cold face: "Are you awake?"
Chu Zihang was silent.
"You want to stay by yourself to break up the queen? Do you think you can defeat that guy alone?" Caesar snapped.
"Who do you think you are! A savior!? Do you think you are strong? Or... do you think that I, Caesar Gattuso, am a coward who is afraid of death and relies on others to survive!? "
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
"
Not worthy of what?
Not worthy of standing together to defeat dragons?
Not worthy of being a teammate who lives and dies together?
Not worthy of a glorious death but living in pain?
Even Su Enxi and Jiude Mai, who were not familiar with them yet, felt a little insulted.
Every dragon slayer is prepared to die before stepping onto the battlefield.
If the person who wants to cut off the queen now is a strong person like Angers or the Night Watch, Caesar and others will definitely turn around and leave without hesitation, because that is the hope of life that the strong person has won for them.
Angers and the night watchman died, and they struggled to survive, and then embarked on the road of revenge carrying the will of the two.
But this person is Chu Zihang.
Although he is also a weakling, Chu Zihang is only stronger than Caesar.
Even if Chu Zihang is really left behind, what can he do?
It was nothing more than that after Chu Zihang died, everyone faced off against the King of Corpse Guards again.
In the end, you still have to die.
It would be better to die together from the beginning.
At least everyone tried their best to fight to the death. Even if they died in the end, it would be better than being defeated one by one.
"Listen up, Mr. Chu."
Caesar held Chu Zihang's collar, and the golden boy's hole actually made it difficult for Chu Zihang's eternal golden boy to look straight at it.
"Put away your compassion, selflessness, and dedication. This is a battlefield. If we give up on you, we have hope of survival. Then we will definitely throw you down without hesitation and turn around and leave. But now, you not enough."
After saying that, he threw Chu Zihang to the ground, held the bone knife, and walked towards the direction of the Corpse Guard King.
Immediately afterwards, Jiude Mai and Su Enxi also followed.
Fingel walked to Chu Zihang and stretched out his hand: "You know, the boss guy has always been like this, so don't take it to heart."
"I know."
Chu Zihang took Fingel's hand and stood up: "I did something wrong this time."
"There's nothing wrong with that. You have good intentions."
Fingel smiled and said, "Let's go, we can't survive this battle without you, you are our main force."
"Um."
"If I had known earlier, I would have brought Xiao Longnu here."
"Um."
"I don't know if Mr. Gu will come to save us."
"Um"
"Can I sell your photos?"
"no."
"...Why don't you play your cards right?"
